Defense Against the Dark Arts Class Guide

Defense Against the Dark Arts Class Guide

In year 5 of Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery the Defense Against the Dark Arts class taught by Professor Patricia Rakepick is unlocked. Madam Rakepick should be familiar from the major role she played in “assisting” Jacob’s sibling in their quest to discover the forbidden forest cursed vault in Year 4.

Madam Rakepick was formerly the Head Curse Breaker for Gringotts Bank. She is extremely powerful and highly knowledgeable, but her motivations remain somewhat mysterious. She will again play a large role in Year 5’s Cursed Vaults storyline as she recruits a group of students, including the Main Character, to search for the vaults against Dumbledore’s wishes. Given the Curse placed on the Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching position, she will not likely be around for Year 6.

Defense Against the Dark Arts is similar to other classes with one of three random mini-games being assigned after each completed star. Players will still be tasked to trace a shape with their finger or answer a question from a classmate or Madam Rakepick herself. However the expanding circle minigame has been replaced with a new activity which requires players to tap the the screen and keep a scroll within a designated area. Defense Against the Dark Arts rewards the courage attribute and can be attended at your leisure.

New Mini Game

Tapping the screen will cause the scroll to move upwards, the faster you tap the quicker it will move. You will have to tap at just the right frequency to keep the scroll within the marked area for 5 seconds. If the scroll moves out of the marked area at any point the timer will reset. This new mini-game is an increase in difficulty over what we’ve seen in previous classes.
